The documentary “Collateral Casualties”, directed by two Israeli directors and exposing crimes committed by the Israeli military in the Palestinian Gaza Strip, recently received a special jury award at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival. On September 14, local time, Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu posted a video on social media platforms, criticizing the film as “shocking,” saying that the two directors incited “anti-Semitism” as Israelis and portrayed the Israeli military as war criminals. This kind of behavior “must not be tolerated.” The documentary “Collateral Casualties” revealed the Israeli army's “large-scale, industrialized” massacres in the Gaza Strip. It lasted 80 minutes and interviewed 24 Israeli intelligence officials and soldiers. An anonymous soldier in the film claims that the Israeli military can “approve the killing of 500 people for one target”, that the attack “does not distinguish between adults and children,” and that infants are only a number of “collateral casualties.” Over the past few days, several Netanyahu government officials threatened to strip the two Israeli directors of their nationality because of the film “breaking the law.” The Israeli military also denied the film's content.
